MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006How can I use command button in Outlook form design?
I am currently designing a custom contact form in MS outlook 2003. I would like to create a text box that would contain "membership information" composed of several user defined fields. I understand that I do need to set up a command button to do this as well. How do I design the "properties" of the command button to present the user defined fields as is already done for "full name" and "address" command buttons? How do I get this information to display in the text box? You would have to create and install on each client workstation either an Outlook COM add-in or an ActiveX control that includes the dialog. In other words, what you want to do can't be done just with an Outlook custom form. Instead, you will need to put a text box or the control for each custom field right on the custom form page. FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public .outlook.program_forms  SignatureSue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx >I am currently designing a custom contact form in MS outlook 2003.

Sue- Thanks for the info -- even if it is a bummer. I was hoping for a clean form.
